Context: The dramatic rise in the incidence of thyroid cancer over the last 30 years is largely attributable to the increasing diagnosis of papillary microcarcinomas (mPTCs). Current guidelines endorse an observational management approach in properly selected cases.Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of active surveillance in mPTC in Italy, its impact on real life, and to identify risk factors of progression.Design and setting: In 2014 we started a prospective-observational study of active surveillance in mPTC patients.Patients: Included patients demonstrated a single Thy4 or Thy5 thyroid nodule, with largest diameter
